Welcome to the first episode of 2026 on the Made to Be Great Podcast.
In this special New Year episode, Josh is joined by his oldest daughter, Juliana, for an honest father–daughter conversation about faith, growth, and culture across generations.
We talk about:
-What we’re leaving in 2025 (anxiety, fear, frustration)
-What we’re bringing into 2026 (intentionality, gratitude, execution)
-Trusting God with the future
-The “Black Coffee Theory” and the power of our words
-Gen Z slang explained (what does “performative” actually mean?)
-Modern dating culture: why guys don’t approach anymore
-What girls actually want when it comes to effort
-Pickup lines, social media, and real connection
-A thoughtful, faith-based conversation on modesty, self-respect, and identity
This episode bridges generations, blending wisdom, humor, and real-life perspective—whether you’re a parent, a young adult, or someone navigating faith and relationships in today’s culture.
